Afternoon Delight

Here's another classic song - Afternoon Delight by Starland Vocal Band from 1976 - 



It was used in the soundtrack for the Oscar winning movie Good Will Hunting - which you should see if you never have!

Dancing Queen

I love ABBA and this is one of my favorite songs of theirs. We have their greatest hits on DVD.  Another favorite of mine is Waterloo.

When Harry met Sally

One of my favorite movies of all time!



Best movie Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal ever made!  Plus I love the great Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby (may he rest in peace).

Bewitched

I love Bewitched!  It looks as good today as it did in the 60's. Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York are one of my favorite TV couples.  The show reminds me a lot of Mad Men!!

Here is one of my favorite episodes -

Rescue Me

One of my favorite shows is Rescue Me on FX.  I have watched this show from the start.  Not only does it have great writing and acting but lots of hunky firemen with their shirts off!
